Great block !! Cute,
Heads up.... when printed paper piece came up under 6 1/2 center block, changed properties till found where would adjust size ended up at 110% for a 6 1/2 center measurment.

Old rule just saved my tail... measure twice cut once !! :)

stitchinwitch 07-21-2010 05:20 PM

Hey CC - that heart turned out really cute! Come on everyone! Show us what you have!

fun2quilt 07-22-2010 04:25 AM

Just happened upon this block last night, I am going to go find fabric and start on it. Will post a pic later today!

CC - your block is great! I don't think it is lopsided at all and your points are great!

Can't work on mine till after the weekend, I am working all weekend and have out of town guests coming Saturday. So will post when done on Monday or Tuesday. Looks like a fun block. Haven't done PP in a long time.

stitchhappy 07-22-2010 08:29 AM

What were the 1st and 2nd? I must have missed them. Could you post again or let us know where to look? Thanx

Never mind. I have them.

It seems we have lost most of the challengers, so I am thinking about discontinuing the challenges after the 3rd. Maybe they were too easy? Difficult? Boring? Several had asked for easy blocks, so I tried to accomodate - but then those people did not post! Oh, what is a "witch" to do?? If anyone would like to take over, feel free! Thank you C Cal and Kate for participating in the 3rd Block Challenge!

fun2quilt 07-25-2010 05:01 AM

I have mine finished, just haven't gotten around to posting a picture, first have to take one lol. This challenge was way easy, would like more challenging blocks. lf you still want to continue this, it has been fun! Thanks "Witch" for your time in this.

stitchinwitch 07-25-2010 05:53 AM

Thank you for the feedback, fun2, and am anxious to see your block! Maybe we WILL stick around to post a more challenging block! Thanks again.

Kate 07-25-2010 10:08 AM

I love this challenge block...it is so much fun!
Thanks for starting it. I am hoping it stays!

mary quite contrary 07-25-2010 10:10 AM

I was enjoying watching this although I didn't have the time to participate. Thanks for doing it.

pittsburgpam 07-25-2010 10:53 AM

That's cute! Gives me ideas to use up a bunch of scraps.

Kate 07-26-2010 03:34 PM

That is cute....like the colors!

stitchinwitch 07-26-2010 04:34 PM

Thats nice, fun2 - can you use coordinating fabric in additional blocks?

C.Cal Quilt Girl 07-26-2010 06:05 PM

Oh that paisley's Pretty, Great Job !! :)

That was using up 2 fabrics from the stash. There will be no more blocks like these. I am however making blocks for a sampler and it can be used in that.

stitchhappy 07-27-2010 07:44 AM

Sorry, I haven't gotten started yet. But please don't stop the challenge. I'll catch up, I promise.

I lost this thread again! I think the forum gave up on me but I found you. Here is my attempt, I have never PP before so this was a learning experience. It's not perfect but it's mine!

It looks good to me. Pretty......I like the colors.

stitchinwitch 07-28-2010 02:02 PM

Yes, it looks great - the only thing that would make it better is a pressing! ;-0

C.Cal Quilt Girl 07-28-2010 08:14 PM

Pretty Colors, looks fine to me !! :)

marymc 07-31-2010 05:48 PM

I hope you decide to do a 4th block. I am doing 3 of each and I am learning so much! I know it's time consuming to organize and I do appreciate it!

C.Cal Quilt Girl 07-31-2010 11:25 PM

Are we on for #4 ??

Come on pick one !! but be gentle please :)

stitchinwitch 08-01-2010 03:35 AM

Ok Mary and C.Cal - I will have another one up within the next couple days. Thanks

stitchinwitch 08-01-2010 05:57 AM

haha - yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyes! I am posting another "challenge" this morning. To be honest, I have been TRYING to make them more challenging as we progress. My friend, "friendly quilter", started just about the same time as I did quilting, but she stayed steady - while I became frustrated and gave up. She is SO FAR ahead of me - anyway, I digress....
This morning, you will see another challenge - the 4th we are up to now. Make one - any color this one is 12" paper piecing which would make one HECK of a quilt! If you DO choose to make a quilt from it, please let us see. each block of a different color would be SUPER! - Remember - practice makes PERFECT! I will post under "4th Block Challenge" - Let me know how you like it!

fun2quilt 08-01-2010 06:01 AM

Waiting with baited breath!

Thanks for continuing with the challenges, love them!

C.Cal Quilt Girl 08-01-2010 10:11 AM

O.K. toss it at us will give it a shot, but printer out of ink to print template, so may take a couple of days to post picts. :)
